Tired of bland lettuce wraps for your tortilla substitute? Outer Aisle Gourmet products are here to save the day.

Our cauliflower bread alternatives are much more than just pizza crusts and sandwich thins. We focus many of our recipes on making the perfect Keto pizza, but today we want to shift gears and delve into how our pizza crusts and sandwich thins can be used as a Keto Tortilla.

First off, what does it take to be considered Keto?

It’s an important question to answer because variety in your diet is likely to affect your results and your mood. Keto is simply a high fat, low carb diet designed to improve your body’s production of “Ketones” thus using fat for energy, resulting in weight loss. The core Keto foods we recommend are: salmon, grass fed beef, eggs, chicken, avocados, coconut oil, flax seeds, nuts, yogurt, and lots of vegetables! The last one is the category that we really excel in, but don’t forget in addition to consisting of 63%-real cauliflower, our supporting ingredients are eggs, parmesan cheese, and nutritional yeast – not just Keto compliant, but encouraged!

Now let’s talk Keto tortillas

So many of our favorite foods are held within those soft and crispy circular shaped baskets of amazing. What used to be a thing of pure fantasy is now a reality, our cauliflower sandwich thins are perfect for making tacos, and the pizza crusts are ideal for a quesadilla loaded with your favorite toppings.

The Top 3 Reasons to Use Keto Tortillas:

1: Low Carb

With just 2 grams of carbs in our sandwich thins and 4 grams of carbs in our pizza crusts, you can feel comfortable making Outer Aisle Gourmet products a staple in your Keto diet!

2: Simple Ingredients - No Additives:

Not all cauliflower products are created equal and in addition to being the original cauliflower crust maker, OAG is also know for using only the finest ingredients and the only cauliflower crust found in the fresh refrigerated section (aka the outer aisle!)

3: They Taste Delicious:

Whether you are looking to lose weight, gain muscle, improve your health, diabetic, looking for low glycemic foods, Keto, or you just think our crusts taste better, Outer Aisle is here to always provide a tasty product.

This is another fantastic guide if you want to learn how to bake the perfect, crispy crust. It's a simple pizza, only three ingredients, but it's sure to please every single time. A cheese pizza is a simple recipe that can also be dressed up with aged cheeses or herbs for a more diverse flavor, but today we're going to focus on your good ol' fashion mozzarella cheese pizza with Outer Aisle Gourmet cauliflower pizza crusts. Keep in mind, you can adapt this recipe for our sandwich thins as well, just adjust the quantities accordingly and you have a bite sized version with less calories!

If there was one pizza made with cauliflower pizza crusts that you had to eat every day for the rest of your life, this would be the one.

Being a cauliflower pizza crust company means that there are certain elements in which we must always be at our best; customer service, our fine ingredients, attention to detail, maintaining high standards as ambassadors of Keto, Low Glycemic, or Low Carb Diets, and finally - making a pepperoni pizza. It is such a simple pizza pie, that some can miss the target in sauce to cheese ratio, crispiness, and just the right amount of pepperoni to ensure you get one in every bite! Yum, we're getting hungry just talking about it - let's get started!

This week we are so excited to create one of our favorite pizzas, it's one that will dazzle the eyes and the stomach - BBQ Chicken Pizza!

Outer Aisle Gourmet pizza crusts hold an incredibly flavorful texture that you need with a hearty pizza like BBQ Chicken. The combination of protein, sweet red onions, melted cheese, and cilantro will surely excite your family and leave everyone coming back for more. The following recipe is for 2 BBQ chicken pizzas, if you need to make more simply double the recipe.

One of the hardest parts of managing a ketogenic, low-glycemic, or low-carb diet is preparing meals that are both satisfying and diet appropriate.

While obvious foods like pizza or sandwiches stand out from the crowd, something as simple and delicious as a quiche can also be off-limits. It would be a shame to have to miss out on such an easy-to-make breakfast because it requires a crust.

Fortunately, Outer Aisle Gourmet Cauliflower Pizza Crusts are good for more than just pizza, providing the perfect base for a spinach and swiss quiche. Let’s get started with the ingredients you’ll need.

Ingredients:

2 OAG Cauliflower Pizza Crusts

6 eggs

1 cup half and half

1 cup grated Swiss cheese

2 cups fresh spinach

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. Cayenne

Instructions:

Step 1:

-Preheat the oven to 350º

-Take one Cauliflower Pizza Crust and lay it flat on a quiche baking pan

-Cut the other Cauliflower Pizza Crust into four-inch strips, lining the edges of the pan

-Place in oven for 2-3 minutes

Step 2:

-Combine the eggs, half and half, Cayenne, and salt into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until the mixture has the same color throughout

-Grate the cheese

-Take the crust out of the oven (adjust the edge pieces as necessary to create an even border – careful, they will be hot)

Step 3:

-Spread the cheese evenly across the crust at the bottom of the pan

-Place the spinach on top of the cheese, layering evenly

-Pour the egg mix slowly into the pan (it should fill up most of the pan)

Step 4:

Place in oven at 350º for 50 minutes. Remove from oven once a knife can be inserted into the center and come out clean. Allow to cool, then cut and serve.

Lets be honest, tacos are about as close as one can get to absolute perfection. The warm, crisp tortilla filled with perfectly seasoned protein, fresh vegetables, onions, and topped with cilantro or a crisp radish; doesn't get much better than that.

For those of you abiding by a strict health based diet like: Ketogenic, Low Glycemic, or just a simple Low-Carb approach, tacos may have felt completely out of reach for you. Not anymore, we've applied our incredible cauliflower pizza crust recipe to a smaller format so you can use them for sandwiches, wraps, pancakes, and even tacos! Here's the recipe:

Are you new to Outer Aisle Gourmet Pizza Crusts? This article is for you, below we have the keys to a crisp, perfectly cooked pizza crust.

Tip: Do not place our pizza crusts directly on the oven rack, our crusts are fresh, and sometimes the wide frame of oven racks can cause breakage in the crust. Use a tight mesh wire rack for best results (see picture above.) Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Almond milk (if you don't use home made almond milk you can use the brand New Barn (can be found at whole foods). All other store bought pre made almond is not the best!)

Arrowroot starch

Lemon juice

Tomato paste

Pink Salt pepper

Ghee or coconut oil

Basil

Directions:

Step 1:

Roast chicken legs and cut up broccoli in glass dish for 45 min with foil on top at 375 or until chicken legs are cooked through.

Step 2:

Sauté spinach in pan on stove top with a hint of ghee or coconut oil

Step 3:

Let chicken cool and take meat off the bone. Cut meat into very fine pieces. You might even want to use your hands to make it crumble.

Step 4:

Season all cooked foods with salt and pepper

Step 5: Make Enchilada Sauce

¼ cup ghee or coconut oil

3 tablespoons arrow root starch

2 cups almond milk

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 Tbsp smoked paprika

Pink salt and Black Pepper to taste

Melt ghee or coconut oil in sauce pan. Whisk in arrowroot. Slowly add almond milk and lemon juice. Bring to a slow boil and the reduce heat to a simmer (after it thickens). Add tomato paste and smoked paprika and maybe add water if sauce gets too thick (it should be a runny, enchilada-like sauce). Season with salt and pepper and other spices to your liking. Let sauce cool.

Step 6:

Step 7:

Dry sauté pizza crust on skillet without oil. Handle carefully so they stay all intact. Dip in enchilada sauce and cover both sides of crust with thin layer of sauce. Keep covered crust in your hand (I know it's a bit messy) and fill with cooked chicken, broccoli, and spinach along the center of the crust (small hand full of each ingredient). Fold the edges of the crust so it forms into an enchilada shape and place in a pyrex dish that is covered with a thin layer of enchilada sauce. The fold needs to be on bottom.

Step 8:

Sprinkle with basil if desired and cover dish with foil. Heat at 350 for about 20 minutes or until dish is hot.
